ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, N.C. — Three train cars derailed in Rockingham County on Tuesday, however no injuries were reported.

The train cars derailed at Ruffin Road and Lick Fork Creek Road around 9 a.m. One of the derailed cars was carrying paper and the other two were empty.

The 95-car train was headed from Linwood to Allentown, Pa.

“An Amtrak train passes by this location about 2 or 3 a.m., but we anticipate having the derailment cleaned up by then, so passenger traffic will not be affected,” Robin C. Chapman, Director of Public Relations at Norfolk Southern Corporation, said in an e-mail.
